A member asked:
Hi dr what age leg bones fuse at max?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skeletal maturity: Although average age for maturity is 14 in girls and 16 in boys, the outliers could be quite older. Certainly by 25yo, I would never expect to see open physis but until then there can be continued growth, more likely in males.
